and trump org. the state's attorneys spent several hours questioning bender on financial documents that relate to alleged crimes from 2011. now, that is outside the statute of limitations, the court has already decided the crimes alleged have to be from 2014 and on. and so the fact that this was continued on for three hours, the judge said, was he's hoping the state's attorneys are going to connect the dots between what they're alleging prior to 2014 to what happened, and is relevant to this particular trial, and he said in that, i trust, that you can relate the 2011 documents to something that happened later, or else this has been a waste of time. so, trump very happy to hear that from the judge, of course marly because he fought in appeals court and won when the institute statute of limitations would be established. that's why he was more jovial. he did take many times before to disparage the judge in those comments in the hallway and of course letitia james the new york attorney general who has b

tried to lie for trump.t busted by the prosecutor with his own testimony in a previous trump civil fraud trial thing and had to come clean, that yes, he, in fact, knew that what he was doing was illegal and that he was asked to do these illegal things by cfo allen weisselberg. weisselberg, by the way, testifies on tuesday. and weisselberg will most likely say he did illegal things because trump ordered him to do illegal things. i want people to remember, all of this, all of civil fraud trial, trump's already been convicted of civil fraud. the judge before the trial even started issued a summary judgment saying that he was a fraudster. okay? that he lied about his investments. he lied about the size of his apartment in manhattan. like he's already convicted as a liar. this trial's just to see how much damages, how much crime did he really commit? that's what the trial is about. the core issues have already ruled against -- already been ruled against trump. and that's why his attempts to stop the entire trial

trumps real estate assets. everything from golf courses to hotels, to apartments, to the tune of $3500000000.00 in order to gain more favorable loan terms. now this isn't very much a crime, and that is why these allegations were brought forth by the attorney general's office. now last week, the judge in this case already made a ruling that trump was liable for falsifying or lying about his well on financial documents. so wires this trial going forward because there is still 6 other locations by the attorney general's office related to this case. and the potential of fraudulent business records and business dealings. how this is a civil not criminal case. and so there is no jury, it's just a judge that will make a ruling. this trial is expected to last several weeks and could go into december. so far it has had no effect on trump's popularity within the republican party. he is still leading the poles and the republican primary for the presidency, the united states, for inside story gabriel's on in new york. the

of trump org.m looking forward to what happens when these adverse witnesses are called to testify by letitia james. >> how does it normally work -- how does this work? is this like a daily situation going forward? you talk about some of these witnesses, et cetera, that clearly they're not going to be pro-prosecution, but how is this going to work? is this going to be a daily thing, glenn? >> so jose, i will say having tried cases for 30 years, when we project how long a trial will last, we are almost always wrong, and that goes for the judges as well. you know, we try to give the parties and if it's a jury trial, which this isn't, the jurors a real, you know, estimate of how long everybody can expect to be in that courtroom. now, here is what i think is most likely to impact the length of the trial. tish james announced as many as 53 potential witnesses. trump's attorneys announced as much as 123 or 127 potential witnesses. here's what i can tell you, the defense teams almost always over estimate h

even if trump's team was not. and donald bender, trump's former accountant, testified today.someone that you've called before. trump looked pretty uncomfortable during that moment. why do you think it would be so upsetting? what does he have that would be upsetting to trump? >> i wasn't in court today but obviously mr. bender was an accountant who worked for the trump organization. i think testified, if i'm correct, correct me if i'm wrong, that he felt like he was misled. and misled significantly. so that -- he will be cross-examined, he's trying to cover his own mistakes. it'll be all these arguments. but those i don't think we'll have any way with the judge. as preet said, we're. done maybe he's making a record for the court of appeals. but when you are an accountant or some professional that you worked with for decades and who has an inside knowledge of finances and how business works, when that person basically says i was like to, that's relevant and important. >> they literally have the receipts. and then some, a lot of paper. but one of the things, preet, that was stri

trump on most references or mr. trump. he's really coloring in the lines. i say that because i think a lot of people watching know he has a bit of a temper and he can blast off on social media. we're seeing none of that. donald trump has been, for the most part, he's been watching the proceedings. he's been fitting. he's been on his phone a fair bit. even just before we came back from lunch, he was taking calls in court trying to hide the fact he was on a screen that we could see. it's been odd. there haven't been any outbursts or lashing out by either side. >> on his phone is how parents of tweens usually describe an unsupervised moment, but that's what the current gop front runner was seen doing. i want to press on something that i know is sensitive for michael cohen, but it's important about the prosecution's of donald trump in new york. the civil and criminal. michael cohen had the goods and james office, took the time to corroborate his account, something that mueller didn't seem to do with michael cohen. in the case of sdny determines that donald trum

one of those potential witnesses is trump's former attorney, william barr, who trump slammed on social media last night a little more than an hour after the judge had filed her decision. at a 21 pm last night, trump posted, quote, i call bill barr dumb, weak, slow-moving, lethargic, got loose and lazy, a rhino who couldn't do the job. that's an all caps, if you're listening. bill barr is a loser, all caps. judge chutkan and special counsel's team have not yet responded to the social media attack on bill barr. the remarks are part of a pattern for the former president. while the gag order was on pause last week, trump lashed out at another potential key witness in the case. mark meadows. on tuesday last, week trump weighed in on a report from abc news that meadows, trump's former white house chief of staff had testified in the case under an immunity deal. and a social media post, trump insinuated that meadows testimony was a, quote, a lie. common judge chutkan now concluded would have been a violation of the gag order, writing in her decision last night, quote, this statement would almo

trump's r.i.c.o.ou may remember, ellis seen their, traveled extensively with rudy giuliani, pushing the big lie in several states, including georgia. she is not the fourth person and the third attorney to plead guilty and that georgia r.i.c.o. case and the first to read out a statement in court. >> as an attorney who is also a question, i take my responsibilities as a lawyer seriously, and i aspire to be a person with moral and ethical character in all of my details. in the wake of the 2020 presidential election, i believe that challenging the results on behalf of donald trump should be pursued and adjust and legal way. if i knew what i knew now, i would have declined to represent donald trump and the postelection challenges. -- >> temidayo aganga-williams, a former federal prosecutor, who served as a senior counsel joins me now. i want to start by noting, you had to be a word that you got the third trump lawyer pleading guilty on the same day that one another ex lawyer michael cohen, testifying again

trump for speaker of the house. >> i think president trump is the right guy for the job. i certainly would love him to be speaker of the house. >> no, i don't think that would be a good idea at all. i can't say i'm terribly surprised to see my former running mate injecting himself into this conversation. >> mike pence of the understater. let's bring in our politics reporter, shelby, thank you for being here. look, i just kind of want to sit with the politics of this for a second because the speaker's race obviously we have been talking about as a dogfight, it is not clear anyone can get to 218. my initial read, and this happened around midnight so i'm asking sources many of whom are still waking up, but my read is that this might create an unsurmountable situation for steve scalise or anyone else that wanted to run against jim jordan just because frankly support for donald trump in the house republican conference runs extremely deep. >> i think this is the ultimate question, right? and it will be how influential is donald trump. and we've seen he is still extremely influe

trump is at the apex of his power.litics, i wonder if you can explain how this has happened. >> alex, it is an incredibly difficult thing to wrap your brain around, somebody has been indicted four times, impeached twice, broken nearly every norm in the country, failed dramatically -- the economy absolutely upside down. and yet, inside of his own party, there is a new permission structure about what constitutes the norm and what is at the center of the party and what animates that aspirations for the future. >> yeah. >> we saw that play out in the speakers contest recently, when they booted kevin mccarthy for allegedly not being maga enough, not being conservative enough. if you look at all the contestants for the gop primary price, you get up on that stage, all of them affirmed on trump's behavior and, instead of creating any count ability whatsoever, they double down on the notion that he should not have been impeached, that they would have defended him during that moment of crisis. they seem to have turned a blind ey

trump.ach month brings new legal twists and turns as he campaigns for next year's presidential election and a return to the white house. trumps legal troubles are at the core of his campaigning as he pro praise himself as an outsider being persecuted by the political establishment. >> this is a pure witch hunt for purposes of interfering with the elections of the united states of america. it is totally illegal this judge should not be allowed to be a judge. emily: why is trump in court this time? gabriel elizondo explains in new york. >> this is a somewhat complicated case but it boils down to allegations of fraud related to trumps business dealings and with the trump organization. the new york attorney general's office brought this case last year. and at the core it alleges that trump and the trump organization intentionally inflated the value of trumps real estate assets. everything from golf courses to hotels, to apartments, to the tune of $3.5 billion in order to gain more favorable loan

so why is trumping court? this time gabriel elizondo explains in new this is a somewhat complicated case, but what it really boils down to are allegations of fraud related to trumps. business dealings and with the trump organization, the new york attorney general's office after a years long investigation brought this case last year. and at the core it alleges the trump and the trump organization, intentionally inflated the value of trumps real estate assets. everything from golf courses to hotels, to apartments, to the tune of $3500000000.00 in order to gain more favorable loan terms. now this isn't very much a crime, and that is why these allegations were brought forth by the attorney general's office. now last week, the judge in this case already made a ruling that trump was liable for falsifying or lying about his wealth on financial documents. so wires this trial going forward because they're still 6 other locations by the attorney general's office related to this case. and the potential of fraudulent busi

there was also another attorney representing the trump family, eric trump and don jr. trump family attorney used his time to attack a key witness for the prosecution, michael cohen. saying, quote, when you talk about credibility you will have a guy who lied to everyone, a convicted felon. and despite the wild fluctuations in trump's valuation, sometimes as much as ten times the appraised value, leena habba said, quote, was there no intent to defraud. period. the end. but of course, the judge has already decided that trump and the other defendants committed fraught and that's now settled as a matter of law. so this trial is about how much money will trump pay in damages, potentially upwards of a quarter of a billion dollars and whether he and the family members that are a part of this case will effectively be banned from doing business in his home state of new york. back with me is neal katyal and maya wiley. i want to start with you. donald trump's defense saying this is a, quote, victimless crime and that the lenders profited from these financial transactions and how

and the trump organization. if they're not forthcoming in their testimony, you know, when you have a witness on direct, you have to ask them who, what, when, where, why kinds of questions. you can't lead them to the answer that you want. but if the witnesses aren't forthcoming, then james can ask for permission to treat them as hostile witnesses. she will almost certainly have to do that here. and she can ask them more pointed questions, questions that really divulge the information she's interested in. isn't it true that you were present when this conversation occurred? that sort of a thing. and so very quickly, these witnesses get to the point where they have to decide whether they'll be forthcoming and tell the truth, whether they will try to dissemble and plead a failure of memory, or whether they'll go ahead and assert the fifth amendment, which of course, is dangerous in a civil case because it means in this case justice engoron will be able to draw adverse inferences from asserting the fifth. >> yeah, and

trump said his penthouse in trump tower was worth $327 million. it's actual value, more than $200 million less. the judge also said trump boosted the values of seven golf clubs by 15% to 30% because of what he called a "brand premium" on the name "trump." the former president denying it all. he didn't have to come to court today, but he showed up again, coming out to talk to reporters several times. mr. president, why did you decide to come? you didn't have to. >> i don't have to. because this trial is a rigged trial. >> reporter: trump says he's copping back for more tomorrow, david, and he'll have to return sometime later when he's called to testify as a witness. his attorneys never even tried to get the case before a jury, so, the outcome is going to be up to the same judge trump

trump also mentioned trump. wife, who suffered a lot, told me he would never speak badly about president trump. jake tapper joins me now. jake, obviously the former president's reaction is pretty typical. it's about what one would expect. he of course even brought in general kelly's wife into his argument. >> yeah. but fundamentally the stories that we have heard that john kelly is now confirming on the record were sourced by multiple people when jeffrey goldberg wrote that story for "the atlantic" in 2020 about all those horrific thing that donald trump, as president, said about veterans who were killed in action, about veterans who were in the cemetery in france, killed in world war i, about wounded veterans, and on and on and on. those were sourced to multiple people behind the scenes. john kelly is just the first person to acknowledge it and confirm it on the record. >> the thing that has, again, shocked, not surprised, me is the lack of response from republicans. i don't know if privately you're hearing fro

trump says what he says.robert kelly, lieutenant robert kelly, united states marine corps, killed in afghanistan, 29 years of age. general kelly's oldest son. he says what he says right there in front of general kelly's son's headstone. i don't know how anyone who has served this country in uniform or otherwise, i don't know how anyone could even mention or think of voting for such an individual. as mika just said, and it's probably all you can say at this point, god help us. >> that's exactly what general kelly said at the end of that statement, god help us. i mean, rev, we have this thing where, like, we can't be shocked anymore by what donald trump says, but we ought to be shocked by this. over the last 8 1/2 years, he's said things repeatedly about the military, disparaging the military, showing he has no respect or understanding for the sacrifice of military veterans or those lost, the families, gold star families who have lost someone. when you put that to trump supporters and say, "really, you're okay

he was trump's guy. now trump has interposed himself in this race. i really don't know. i can't crawl inside kevin mccarthy's head and see what -- and think about what he would do. but i will say this. i think trump's rolled the dice here. you can't be the self-proclaimed and apparent leader of the party, the front runner for the nomination, interpose yourself and not win it. so, he has a lot at stake here. the last thing that trump wants to look like is a loser, as we know. so, now he -- it's really on him to try and deliver his guy. if he does, one thing i think will be for sure is that we will see a formal impeachment of president biden during the next few months because i think trump will insist on it. >> yeah. i mean, he was already insisting on just getting to the inquiry, which he wasn't -- he didn't see as sufficient. speaking of trump, obviously he endorsed jordan, congressman, not long after he was on fox news. and i noticed in jim jordan's hit last night, he was talking about trump likely being the next president, talking about what a great president he was. t

can pull off being trump trump's lawyer comes to him asking for money he's owed trump makes up someawyer tries that same move with his legal representation, and they're like, [ bleep ] you. pay me "what if i verbally agree to pay you without a specific amount or timeline?" "[ bleep ] you pay me i swear, this just worked on me a day ago. and rudy is not the only crony facing serious financial consequences there's also my pillow ceo mike lindell who is being sued for his own part in spreading election lies. and all of this is clearly taking a toll on lindell as evidenced by video released from a deposition in which he was grilled about his election lies and lost what was left of his mind >> tell us your full name, please >> michael james lindell >> well, good morning, mr. lindell. my name is charlie king. we met for the first time -- >> who's paying you? >> about four minutes ago. >> okay. go on. >> is that right >> that's it >> is that right >> is what -- what was the question >> we met for the first time - >> yes yes. you're an ambulance-chasing lawyer, so don't start with me i got

trump administration. and it's about what to do next in afghanistan. and donald trump came into office, was desperate to immediately remove all u.s. forces from the country. now, regardless of what your view is on the war in afghan a stand, every national security official who advised the white house said if you do an immediate pull out, people will, not just u.s. troops, but scores of civilians will be slaughtered if we just immediately pull out. donald trump was reluctant, convinced to give us a few months, develop a range of responsible options to do a reasonable draw down in the country over time and get it to a better place. so over those months we realized in many other briefings that if a doc human you gave the president had a stay bill in it that meant it was too long because that it meant it meant it had more than one page and some those ones i'm not even being facetious i was told no more than a page and. oftentimes, if it can be a picture, no words. much, much. it's very difficult to explain to

nuclear secrets to an australian billionaire who purchased his access to donald trump while donald trump was president. donald trump is the only president in history who publicly put a price tag on physical access to him with the price paid for that access going straight into his own pocket not his campaign australian billionaire anthony pratte decided to pay that price. for access to the president of the united states, by buying a membership at the mar-a-lago club that donald trump runs at his florida residence, because he could not afford the home without the income from the club. the australian billionaire bought that access only after donald trump became president, and he got exactly what he wanted at the club. which was frequent contact with donald trump, including having dinner with the then president of the united states, the new york times reporting tonight, shortly after he left office, former president donald j trump shared apparently classified information about american nuclear submarines with an australian businessmen during an evening of conversation at mar-a-lago, his priv

trump's lawyers are holding to their claims not only is trump nothing less than a super successful real estate tycoon, but there could not have been any intent to defraud because there was no fraud, no false statements and no such thing as an objective valuation of a property. while trump is not expected to be present through the trial, he along with don jr., ivanka, and eric are on the witness list and we expect to see them testify at some point under oath. beyond the $250 million in penalties that new york a.g. letitia james is seeking, this trial could also likely put an end to the entire trump organization in new york. it will also completely shatter whatever remains of the myth of trump as an extremely wealthy and successful businessman, the original big lie that helped propel him into the white house in 2016. that point has not been lost on trump. who was lashing out once again at the judge and the attorney general in this case. >> we have a rogue judge. a racist attorney general who is a horror show. this judge is a politician, and he should be investigated for what he's done. th

trump. >> correct. that is correct. >> joining me now is leah littman, professor of law at the university of michigan in my cohost of the podcast and the man on the other end of that phone call, jonathan greenberg, investigative journalist and former forbes reporter. you were on the call from john baron, trumps entire reason for being is to get on this forbes list. what is your reaction to his falling off the list? >> i think both are long overdue. i don't think he has been as much as he has said for many years and i think for decades and decades, he has been pulling this stunt, this fraud and gaining the system for decades. he is commenting on the first 419 82 and continued these fabrications and lies that continued to expand and be used year after year. so, i am not surprised and i really think that he should james has a rocksolid case. >> shifting to that case, this daughter from the judge, that is this topol in new york? >> inflating his assets and loans. it affected the major issue, there is a few

they set up a stage that had trump on either side and signs that said union members for trump, and that not an accident but intentional and optics with a made for television event so that the cameras would show that union members, and we don't have confirmed that they were union members, but that is the show they were putting on for the camera, and one thing that donald trump and his team are very good at. it is interesting to note here, they have been talking to the team for weeks and months about how he is going to be on the trail if he is in trial every single day, and it does appear this is one strategy they will definitely try in terms of campaigning for president 2024. >> again, donald trump is speaking there. >> he is still talking. >> and kristen, among other things, he called judge arthur engoron, and he can't be more than 30 yards from where the judge is. and also, the attorney general of new york is 30 feet behind the door where donald trump is speaking right now. and i want to bring in paula reid, because he is talking, and talking and talking in front of the cameras now and

trump is likely right. he is being shown in a sort of tag team series of prosecutions and civil lawsuits where one prosecutor attacks another. they are all insisting on these trials occurring before the election. there are many people that find that troubling. and so he is right in that, i think, it is not going to do much in terms of his standing in the election. the problem that he has is this new york law that the new york law is different from most jurisdictions. he has been prosecuted with what's called a section 63.12 action. you don't need to show intent to defraud and need to show that people lost money. i think a lot of people will look at that and go why have all of these proceedings. this huge effort if no money was lost. it gets more wicked from there because the state can disgeorge profit even though people didn't lose money. in a case like ernst and young and other cases, they were able to get millions of dollars to disgorge the process even though they weren't damages to anyone in particular.

, who have trump appointed attorneys. if the individual in florida in a mar-a-lago case, who has recently switched, according to public reporting, as recently switched counsel from a public -- trump appointed attorney, to a public attorney. because that individual was counseled to not recall certain events to protect the president. it's not the job of individuals who have witnessed events -- it's the job of individuals to share their invest with investigators. that's the only way our justice system will continue to work. that had a profound impact on why i decided to come forward with more information. i made that choice, i made that conscious choice to come forward. i didn't have to do that. i didn't think that i would be able to live with myself, had i not been able to. but it's also because i have a deep belief in our institutions of government, and they only work if the people help them work. and if we fulfill our details. >> what would you say to those who to codefendants -- work for him, and are now accused of commi

after pratt spoke with trump, he heard the australian telling someone else what trump had told him. in all, pratt described what the former president had told him in emails and in conversations with at least 45 others, including six journalists, 11 of his company's 'em ply yemployees, t australian officials, and three former australian prime ministers, the sources told abc news. the potential disclosure was uncovered as part of the investigation into trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents, the sources told abc news. but there is no indication that trump showed the australian any of those classified documents. it's unclear if the information trump allegedly shared with pratt was accurate, but abc news was told the investigators asked pratt not to repeat it, suggesting it was too sensitive to share. while there's no indication this involved classified documents, it gets to how trump treated sensitive military secrets. and in an indication of how jack smith sees this, his investigators have spoke on the that australian billionaire at least twice. tonight, there is no comme

there's donald trump the former president, there's his son donald trump jr., eric trump, allen weisselberg jeffrey mccanney. >> secret service walking in. >> ivanka trump was originally named as a defendant but the case against her was dismissed basically because it was too old. there also are about ten different corporate entities named in this indictment, all related to donald trump and the trump organization, but to your question, kate, technically speaking we're going to -- the judge needs to return separate verdicts for each of these defendants, each count. so it's possible the judge finds donald trump liable on a certain count but let's say jeffrey mccanney not liable on that account, bigger picture if i'm at the defendant's table i would want my defense to be coordinated with the others. i think i would want to have everyone sort of growing in the same direction here. >> on that note i wanted to ask you, when we were speaking before you said if you were given the option of prosecuting, of trying the criminal indictment that he's facing in new york or the hush money payments or this

trump supporters in iowa, and this is what's alarming is trump says it, he should be put to death ord now you got trump supporters in iowa telling nbc news that they agree with that statement. it only takes one person with a vicious motive and a gun in their hand and the decision to do something crazy to put into action trump's words. and you're starting to see it filter down from trump down through his supporters at his rallies to people who believe what he says. >> perfect transition to congressional investigations reporter for the "washington post" jackie alemany. we saw this with january 6th and it filtered down the same way and people ended up in washington, d.c. and they stormed the capitol. and many are serving time. >> yeah, mika, that's exactly right. but, nevertheless, this rhetoric has continued. that's why you have seen jack smith now ask again for a gag order on trump as really the past two weeks from threats to mark milley, mike pence, judge tanya chutkan, even attempts to buy a firearm in south carolina during a campaign visit which his campaign then issued a clarifica

trump, he said, quote meet with mr. cohen and another lieutenant and direct them to reverse engineer the statements to reach his desire net worth, and returned to him once they did. the accusation prompted a full body scoff from mr. trump, who spent much of the testimony alternately fiddling with his phone and crossing his arms. mr. trump's skill was soon replaced by a blank expression as he frequently consulted with his lawyers. joining us now, adam klasfeld, senior legal correspondent for that messenger, he was in the courtroom for today's proceedings. tim o'brien, senior executive editor for bloomberg opinion and author of trump nation, host of the bloomberg podcast -- and an msnbc political analyst. thank you both for being here, adam, before we get into cohen's testimony today, tell us more about his, trump's demeanor in court. you are in the room with them. i gather things were pretty chilly between the two? >> that would be an accurate way of putting. it as you mentioned, jonathan, the first thing to really remem

he became pro-trump after being pro-trump prior to the election. he is somebody that the new york times and my colleagues reported a couple of years back that the presidency was part of this broader effort or habit of trump's, holding the presidency and his business and his own persona into one, so this gentleman, mr. pratte, was met at a state dinner in 2019. the president went to one of his factors and ohio, so there is this atmosphere where there is a sort of seamless rolling of things related to the white house, things related to government secrets and two aspects of trump's business. >> abc news also reports that the billionaire, the australian guy, want to talk more than a dozen other people, how difficult if not impossible to stop this game of telephone when sensitive info is out there? i can't remember if it was world war i or two when there were posters that the u.s. government put out that you loose lips, sink ships. this is a prime example. >> exactly right, anderson. i was thinking back in greek mythology, they had the bird rumor, and u

doing trump stuff.rs are working overtime, doing everything they can to either postpone or dismiss four of their clients five pending pending legal cases. in the new york civil fraud case, trump's team announced that tomorrow, they'll be requesting a stay, pending appeal. exactly what part of the trial they want to put on pause is still anyone's guess. but we should know by tomorrow. another set of trump's lawyers filed a motion to dismiss the manhattan d.a.'s criminal hush money case against trump, calling the charges politically motivated and marred by legal defects. in the federal criminal case, involving trump's storage of classified documents at mar-a-lago, today, his lawyers asked judge aileen cannon for that trial to start after the 2024 presidential election. citing that many other trials trump faces, in the impossibility of being, quote, in two places at once. and then, and the other federal criminal case, involving trump's efforts to overthrow the 2020 election, trump lawyers are trying to get

and every potentially violent trump not in america now knows that there is nothing donald trump can do to save them from going to prison. if they want to go to an american courthouse and go to war for donald trump. so there hasn't been a whiff of violence, or any unruly protest at any of the trump court appearances. and today, in manhattan, donald trump became just another guy from queens whose life took enough wrong turns for him to end up as a defendant in the manhattan courthouse. he is a civil defendant in this case charged with fraud by new york states attorney general. donald trump is obviously decided to attend the trial, not because of what happens in the courtroom, but so that he can dominate the media coverage of the trial by making statements outside of the courtroom before and after the court session, and during the recess breaks, donald trump did that relentlessly today. we will show you nothing of what he had to say in those statements, because they are filled with lies. lies about new york's attorney general, and the judge in the case, and what we will show you, the occa

so it is very unclear as to what the future of the trump organization and the wealth of the trumps will look like after this trial gets finished. remember, it is very significant trial, and like you said, the attorney general is asking for $250 million, which doesn't seem much to the trump trumps, but t judge is going to make the discretion for penalizing on which ever way he is going to find in these trials, but it is significant and interesting to find the beginning this before the opening statements started of how trump made the comments attacking james of which he is not shy of doing, and attacking judge which he is not shy of doing, and not addressing letitia james walking into the courtroom today, and the judge is going to make those decisions, and not a jury. so we will be certainly seeing how that lays out. and another thing testifying, we could hear from his sons as well, and also, bringing people to the stand who are going to show that the way they filled out all of the financial statements that they are just everyday things that happen in the state of new york, and they were

trump? >> probably. [laughter] >> john: former president saying he'll probably come back after lunch. he is hot. this is hitting him where it hurts the most but sees this as being so extraordinarily unfair. >> jacqui: defiant posture from him and different than what you saw him in some of the federal cases. this seems pretty clearly to him like an opportunity to galvanize his base and he's going to capitalize on that. >> john: i think a lot of people are looking at what the judge valued mar-a-lago at. now it's true in 1985 trump bought mar-a-lago for way less than its asking price, i think the post family wanted 21 million, and he got it for somewhere between 5 and 7. but that piece of property in palm beach now is worth a lot more when you look at comparable properties. smaller houses on less property that don't even have ocean or intercoastal waterway frontage are going for $35 million. now, it is -- it's zoned currently as a club, so that may devalue it, he got it rezoned as a private residence, but i

trump is no longer here. the donald trump show is over.g more than a political stunt. >> with me tonight are mary mccord and andrew weissmann. andrew, how much further can trump go here? he has -- in addition to those comments, he called judge engoron someone who is run by the democrats. he already knows what he is going to do. the whole system is corrupt. engoron came out of the clubhouse. at what point is the gag order extended toward the judge? >> it's interesting. because the gag order that was issued yesterday was narrow. it was about the judges staff. and that part seemed to work. and so lawrence o'donnell talked about this, which is, thinking of him as sort of the cowardly lion, which is a bully being called. out donald trump does not want to go to jail. and these judges, both in the civil case and in four criminal cases have the power, if he continues doing this -- in fact, on october 16th, the d.c. federal judge is having a hearing on this very issue. , so if he continues down this road that will be for judge chutkan to figure out

trump is no longer here.onald trump show is over. >> when all in starts, right now. ♪ ♪ ♪ good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. a little over 24 hours ago for the very first time in all of american history, a house caucus deposed their own speaker. a group of hard-line members of the republican majority, led by florida congressman matt gaetz, forced a goal to vacate the speaker's office, ousting kevin mccarthy. i will admit, it is not super clear why gaetz and his allies thought this was a good idea. the move left a lot of members of their own party bewildered and downright furious. and it has sparked a resurgence of a consistent theme in this political era. whenever the republican party, or its leadership, act in a particularly egregious, norm shattering fact fashion, conservative politicians, members of the conservative media, and then many members of the mainstream media, rushed to find some reason to blame democrats. we have seen it over and over. after donald trump won the republican primary in 20

trump storm out. he stormed out because they wanted to make a motion -- they wanted to make a motion to dismiss the case to which the judge responded absolutely not. you know why? because he will ultimately be held accountable. as i said the other day, that's what this is all about. it's accountability. >> michael, how did you feel going in the same courtroom as him? >> absolutely no problem for me. no problem at all. >> looking at him in the eye and -- >> absolutely. >> reporter: did you look into each other's -- >> when? >> several times. >> reporter: what was it like for you seeing him on the stand? rewasn't on the stand. i was on the stand. >> reporter: when you looked him in the eye, what did you see? >> a defeated man, somebody that knows it's the end of the trump organization, already found guilty of fraud, the license will ultimately be taken, and now this entire case is merely about how much. this is merely about how much discouragement the defendant will be seeking. >> reporter: it's believe

he basically called trump a liar, insinuating trump was high under oath. what is your reaction to this? what is your take on the image? 6 >> unfortunately, i can't see the image, so i'm sorry i can't. i don't have a reverse showing here. but my take from what happened on the stand is you are correct, that the judge has not liked how trump has dealt with this trial, said very bluntly he doesn't find him credible. does that mean he finds him not credible in every instance? i don't know that that matters. trump is going to have to testify in this trial as a witness in the next two weeks. so the fact that this is going into his questioning with this level of rancor with the judge, it's just not helpful to him at a time when he's trying to save his company. >> all right. maggie, good talking with you. thank you so much, my friend. a very busy afternoon. we're live in tel aviv. a brand new speaker of the house was elected a few hours ago. republicans managing to get their ducks in a row, or whatever in a row. one of the first orders of business for the new speak

the trump white house. letitia james claims that she had her own hand in the fraud, saying, quote, miss trump called misleading financial statements to be submitted to deutsche bank and the federal government. according to new york officials, as trump's -- fraudulent net worth to save him as much as 100 and $50 million on $400 million worth of deutsche bank loans. ivanka will also likely be asked -- historic old post office property in washington, which trump later converted into a luxury hotel. then, there's don junior and eric, who are still actually running the company to this day. both are his trustees and executive vice presidents. all three children not only have intimate knowledge of donald trump's allegedly shady business dealings, but they're also accused of actively participating in those allegedly shady dealings. it's no surprise that trump's been lashing out at judge arthur engoron and on his fail social media site. he spent the last -- any kind of accountability, running away from fines, or any

donald trump, and abortion.get beyond those two issues, all the stuff that we are dealing with right now, this is going to be resolved sooner or later. but those are the two issues, and every one of those republican house members, most of them i should say, for those who aren't drinking the kool-aid. but those, they understand the liability that trump is to all of, them to their majorities. and particularly, to those in those swing districts and swing states. everyone knows it, and we -- scott sorry, >> well, i've never understood this expungement business. because, he was acquitted in both trials. he got impeached, and then he was acquitted, so he effectively won, on the question. >> it doesn't matter it happened in the first place he has to get rid of. it >> yeah, but how do you expunged for every article that was written about it, the history books, or every television show that we have ever done on? so you can't erase it from peoples memory, nor can you erase the fact that he was acquitted. so, i have never
